ideas on what to hit in these docs:

Load balancing/failover

Skupper supports some common load balancing and failover related techniques , but it is important to understand how the skupper network reacts to traffic to avoid surprises.

Failover

If you want a server process in one site to serve all the traffic and then failover to a different site..

Threshold based balancing

Skupper is aware of the number of active connections to a service, and this information can be used to load balance

Round robin

Because Skupper is connection based, Skupper does not support round robin
